Abstract
Contemporary Distributed Computing Systems (DCS) such as Cloud Data Centres are large scale, complex, heterogeneous, and distributed across multiple networks and geographical boundaries. On the other hand, the Internet of Things (IoT)-driven applications are producing a huge amount of data that requires real-time processing and fast response. Managing these resources efficiently to provide reliable services to end-users or applications is a challenging task. The existing Resource Management Systems (RMS) rely on either static or heuristic solutions inadequate for such composite and dynamic systems. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) due to data availability and processing capabilities manifested into possibilities of exploring data-driven solutions in RMS tasks that are adaptive, accurate, and efficient. In this regard, this paper aims to draw the motivations and necessities for…
